Amazon WorkDocs Now Makes It Easier to Edit Your Files When Using the Web Client

Posted on: Oct 26, 2017

Starting today, you can open Microsoft Office, .pdf, and .txt files directly from the Amazon WorkDocs web client using the default application installed on your computer. When you save your changes, the file is automatically updated on Amazon WorkDocs. With this feature, you no longer need to manually download, save, and upload files when using the web client.

To use this feature, select Edit from the file dropdown menu in the Amazon WorkDocs web client. You will be prompted to install Amazon WorkDocs Companion. Amazon WorkDocs Companion is an app that runs in the background on your PC or Mac, and is compatible with recent versions of Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Safari that have Adobe Flash Player 10 or higher.

This feature is available today for all Amazon WorkDocs users, in all AWS Regions where Amazon WorkDocs is offered. To learn more about Amazon WorkDocs, or to start your 30-day trial, please visit Amazon WorkDocs.
